Iasos (born 1947) is a Greek-born American new age musician living in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. He is one of the earliest creators of the new age genre, known for his ethereal and uplifting compositions.

With a career spanning several decades, Iasos has released numerous albums that have captivated audiences with their soothing melodies and celestial soundscapes. His music blends elements of ambient, electronic, and world music to create a unique sonic experience.

Influenced by his spiritual beliefs and experiences, Iasos' music aims to transport listeners to otherworldly realms and evoke feelings of peace and tranquility. His compositions often feature lush synthesizer textures, gentle melodies, and ethereal vocals.

Inspired by the infinitely numbered harmonies transmitted by Vista, a benevolent being from a distant dimension, Iasos broke ground for a new age of electronic sound manipulation. His was pioneering work—done from a bohemian boat-slip home office—on some of the first commercially available synthesizers and, on stage, into the kaleidoscopic heart of psychedelic-era concert visuals. As life-affirming and attuned to spirit as Iasos' soul portraits were, prestigious psychology departments heard in them the tones humans hear at the precipice between life and death. Before ambient and New Age were so named and codified, the "Paradise Music" of Iasos (represented here by 13 selections transmitted between 1975 and 1985) brought Earth-transcriptions of a vast and galactic soundhealing to a planet much in need
